Issue with player names when creating fictional league

Bucks2020 · 05-26-2022, 11:45 PM

When I went to create a new fictional league after this latest patch, I ran into a big problem. I imported my usual settings and found that every single player has a last name of “unknown” or “Schroeder” (which is the name I use for my GM/manager). I tried many different times so this isn’t a one off. I also tried changing my GM/managers last name and that does nothing. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Don’t know why the above picture is blurry but here’s a better one

You probably need to reimport the names db, as it looks like something got borked there. If you go to database > database tools and then hit the button to re-import name and ethnicity database, that should fix things.

Thanks for the response! I did what you said and I don’t see any change. Database, database tools, and then reimport name and ethnicity database. Still no change

Did you start a new game? Or advance the current one to a draft class or other event that generates new players entering the league?

You can also use the Randomize Player Names function under League Settings > Functions.

This worked! Thank you! I simmed to the draft and that was fine as well. Hopefully it’s good from now on because I’m gonna start a long term sim

The players names are fine but the personnel still have that bug. Not sure how to go about that now

I've never seen an easy way to just rename all personnel. If you're at the start of the game, or don't care if personnel changes mid-game, you could release all personnel, delete them and generate new personnel for teams.
